Application filed September 12,1905. Serial No. 278,074.

To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDRICH BARTELT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Weaving Material for Rugs, Carpets, 5cc., of which the following is a specification.

In pile fabrics it is in many cases desirable 1o to unite a chenille facing with a jute backing, and my present invention is intended particularly for fabrics of this character'.

A further purpose of my invention is to provide a novel construction of chenille for 1 5 use in such a fabric.

A further purpose of my invention is to provide a strong chenille and control the appearance of the back of the same.

A further purpose of my invention is to pro- 2o vide a filling for the chenille and cover the same.

My invention further consists of other novel features of construction, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown one embodiment of my invention which gives satisfactory and reliable results. Figure l represents a perspective view, partly in section, of a rug embodying my in- 3o vention, a portion of the chenille having been removed therefrom. Fig. 2 represents in elevation chenille made use of by me. Fi 3 represents a diagram for weaving the c enille.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates jute weftethreads which form the backing of my rug and which are united to chenille 4o wefts 2 in any suitable manner. These chenilles are formed of jute threads 3, around which is woven the chenille facing according to the drawing draft shown in Fig. 3. The chenille tufting 4 provides the face 5 of my 45 rug 6. In Fig. 3 I have indicated jute in the drawings.

It will now be apparent that my invention comprises a chenille which is composed of warp and weft threads woven continuously to form a tubular fabric and that portions of the weft-threads extend from the tube to form the pile and that in addition I preferably employ a stuffer within the tubular portion of the fabric. Owing to the employment of the longitudinal threads, the liability of longitudinal strain and wear is reduced to a minimum, and in my construction, owing to the novel manner of weaving, the threads composing the fabric are maintained in prop er position, even though a few of the threads are Worn, so that if a thread becomes Worn it will not be entirely released about the stuffer.

It will now be apparent that I have devised a novel and useful construction of a rug which embodies the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of invention and the above description, and While I have in the present instance shown and described the preferred embodiment thereof which has been found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results it is to be understood that my invention is susceptible of modification in various particulars without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A chenille composed of warp and weft threads woven continuously in fabric form to complete a tube, a stuffer in said tube, and portions of the weft-threads extending from said tube as a pile.

2. A chenille composed of warp and weft threads woven continuously in fabric form to complete a tube, and portions of the weftthreads extending from said tube as a pile.
